Klappentext

**From the award-winning author of Queens of Themiscyra and Daughters of Olympus comes the never-before-told story of history's most ferocious heroines: this is the rise of the Amazons.

Mothers. Daughters. Warriors. Women.**

When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband.

Until it's not.

Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers.

But a community of women - an army of women - is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike.

This is the story of Otrera and the first Amazons.

**From award-winning and critically acclaimed author Hannah Lynn comes a gripping tale about women who fight back, inspired by Greek mythology and perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Elodie Harper.
